Title: Transcoding device with information signal transmission
Inventor: KOPPELMANS JOHANNES FRANSISCUS
IPC: H04N7/50
Filed: 1994-07-26
Granted: 1998-07-14
Abstract: Known transcoders for compressed video signals comprise a decoder and a coder coupled thereto, between which a data signal is transmitted. Because compressed video signals comprise so-called difference pictures and normal pictures, both the decoder and the coder should have a feedback loop which is utilized in decoding and coding a difference picture and is not utilized in decoding and coding a normal picture. For example, for the purpose of prediction means (motion compensation and motion estimation) present in the feedback loop of the coder, much computation has to be carried out in the coder. The computation required is considerably reduced by con-comitantly transmitting one or more information signals in addition to the data signal in a transcoder according to the invention, and complete decoding and complete coding no longer takes place.

Title: Computer method and apparatus for a table driven file parser
Inventor: METHE EDWARD G
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1993-01-27
Granted: 1999-03-30
Abstract: An interface between different file formats employs a table for parsing component parts of each file format. The table cross references categorizes each of the different file formats according to file type from a predefined set of file types. For each file type, the table provides an indication and description of each component part of a file of that type. Each component part description of the table is in a common format. Thus, the present invention method and apparatus employs a table driven parser which utilizes a common form of representation for defining multiple file formats.

Abstract: On printer (20), tape cartridge (4) is detachable relative to mounting unit (5). Mounting unit (5) is covered by cover (22). When cover (22) is closed, its protrusion (51) rotates rotary component (54), and its operating edge (54b) moves moving component (55). When operating edge (54b) moves over the top edge of surface A  of guiding surface (55a) of the moving component, the cover is completely closed. Subsequently, rotary component (54) is guided to surface B, where it is held in a coupled state. In conjunction with moving component (55), head carrier component (59) rotates, and head (6) located at the tip of the head carrier component becomes fixed at the print position. In the condition in which a print position is formed, rotary component (54) is off from protrusion (51) of the cover. Therefore, no load acts from the side of head (6) onto the side of cover (22). When cover-opening button (24) is pushed down, rotary component (54) disengages from surface B of the moving component, thus creating a condition in which the head has been released.

Title: Z-fold print media handling system
Inventor: SANTON JOHN C
IPC: B41J15/04
Filed: 1997-03-18
Granted: 2004-03-16
Abstract: A Z-fold print media handling system for printing banners and the like uses an inkjet printing mechanism without a tractor-feed. A series of stuttering stopping and starting steps generates varying static and dynamic frictional forces to separate the first sheet of a Z-fold stack from the remainder of the stack. Both conventional cut-sheet media and Z-fold media are fed using the same printing mechanism, which pulls the media toward a printzone through frictional engagement with a first surface of the media. To prevent printhead crashes and smearing the image near the perforations joining the Z-fold sheets, the printhead to media spacing is increased for Z-fold media over the standard spacing used for cut-sheet media. A cam feature is incorporated into the media drive clutch disk to determine whether an operator has set a selector lever for cut-sheet or Z-fold printhead to media spacing.

The semifinished body is pre-assembled in the form of two main body parts (front and rear structure), which are independently equipped with the associated components. The mainly engineering components (e.g., engine, transmission, subsidiary units) are installed in one main body part (i.e., front structure) and the mainly decorative components (e.g., seats, coverings, carpet) are installed in the other main part (i.e., rear structure). After the two main body parts have been at least substantially completed, they are brought together and rigidly joined. After the front structure and the rear structure have been joined, the parts can be painted in the colour of the vehicle and the end finish of the front part can be completed, e.g. the mudguard, the bonnet, the front doors, the bumper and the radiator grille can be attached.

Abstract: Clear, amine-initiated polyether polyols are made by epoxidizing an amine in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide catalyst. After the desired degree of epoxidation has been achieved, a hydroxy-carboxylic acid is added to the epoxidized mixture in an amount sufficient to neutralize any remaining alkali metal hydroxide. The polyols produced in this manner are particularly useful for the production of polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foams.
